    Define "play." Some in the right direction is fine. You didn't give us much to go on.

    Once again, not a lot of info but OK.

    You will have a little bit of in/out play; probably 1-2 mm or less.

    The basket itself does have a small amount of "wobble" play; whereas the hub shouldn't have any, just a minimal amount of in/out play.

    Hope this helps; take a look in the book or at the exploded view in my clutch article, and see how the basket is supported only by a plain bushing at the rear, it's kind of just "floating" there. So it will have a bit more play compared to the hub, which is firmly attached to the shaft.
